      perf tools: Cross platform perf.data analysis support · ba21594c
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      There are still some problems related to loading vmlinux files,
      but those are unrelated to the feature implemented in this
      patch, so will get fixed in the next patches, but here are some
      results:
      
      1. collect perf.data file on a Fedora 12 machine, x86_64, 64-bit
      userland
      
      2. transfer it to a Debian Testing machine, PARISC64, 32-bit
      userland

      So I think this is really, really nice in that it demonstrates
      the portability of perf.data files and the use of build-ids
      accross such aliens worlds :-)
      
      There are some things to fix tho, like the bitmap on the header,
      but things are looking good.

      Since they can come from another architecture with bigger
      pointers, i.e. processing a 64-bit perf.data on a 32-bit arch.

      perf tools: Encode kernel module mappings in perf.data · b7cece76
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      We were always looking at the running machine /proc/modules,
      even when processing a perf.data file, which only makes sense
      when we're doing 'perf record' and 'perf report' on the same
      machine, and in close sucession, or if we don't use modules at
      all, right Peter? ;-)
      
      Now, at 'perf record' time we read /proc/modules, find the long
      path for modules, and put them as PERF_MMAP events, just like we
      did to encode the reloc reference symbol for vmlinux. Talking
      about that now it is encoded in .pgoff, so that we can use
      .{start,len} to store the address boundaries for the kernel so
      that when we reconstruct the kmaps tree we can do lookups right
      away, without having to fixup the end of the kernel maps like we
      did in the past (and now only in perf record).
      
      One more step in the 'perf archive' direction when we'll finally
      be able to collect data in one machine and analyse in another.

      This option shows source-code with line number if the line can
      be probed. Lines without line number (and blue color) means that
      the line can not be probed, because debuginfo doesn't have the
      information of those lines.
      
      The argument specifies the range of lines, "source.c:100-120"
      shows lines between 100th to l20th in source.c file. And
      "func:10+20" shows 20 lines from 10th line of func function.
      
      e.g.
       # ./perf probe --line kernel/sched.c:1080
       <kernel/sched.c:1080>
                *

         1094                 rq->hrtick_csd_pending = 1;

      perf tools: Handle relocatable kernels · 56b03f3c
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      DSOs don't have this problem because the kernel emits a
      PERF_MMAP for each new executable mapping it performs on
      monitored threads.
      
      To fix the kernel case we simulate the same behaviour, by having
      'perf record' to synthesize a PERF_MMAP for the kernel, encoded
      like this:
      
      [root@doppio ~]# perf record -a -f sleep 1
      [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.344 MB perf.data (~15038 samples) ]
      [root@doppio ~]# perf report -D | head -10
      
      0xd0 [0x40]: event: 1
      .
      . ... raw event: size 64 bytes
      .  0000:  01 00 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ......@........
      .  0010:  00 00 00 81 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ...............
      .  0020:  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 5b 6b 65 72 6e 65 6c 2e ........  [kernel
      .  0030:  6b 61 6c 6c 73 79 6d 73 2e 5f 74 65 78 74 5d 00  kallsyms._text]
      .  0xd0
      [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP 0/0: [0xffffffff81000000((nil)) @ (nil)]: [kernel.kallsyms._text]
      
      I.e. we identify such event as having:
      
       .pid      = 0
       .filename = [kernel.kallsyms.REFNAME]
       .start    = REFNAME addr in /proc/kallsyms at 'perf record' time
      
      and use now a hardcoded value of '.text' for REFNAME.
      
      Then, later, in 'perf report', if there are any kernel hits and
      thus we need to resolve kernel symbols, we search for REFNAME
      and if its address changed, relocation happened and we thus must
      change the kernel mapping routines to one that uses .pgoff as
      the relocation to apply.
      
      This way we use the same mechanism used for the other DSOs and
      don't have to do a two pass in all the kernel symbols.

      perf report: Fix --no-call-chain option handling · b9a63b9b
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      To avoid the funny:
      
       [root@doppio ~]# perf record -a -f sleep 2s
       [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
       [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.334 MB perf.data (~14572 samples) ]
       [root@doppio ~]# perf report --no-call-graph
       selected -g but no callchain data. Did you call perf record without -g?
      
      And fix the bug reported by peterz when we do indeed record with
      callchains and then ask for a report without:
      
      [root@doppio ~]# perf record -a -g -f sleep 2s
      [root@doppio ~]# perf report --no-call-graph
      Segmentation fault

      then deleted when make exits.

      perf: Stop stack frame walking off kernel addresses boundaries · c2c5d45d
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      While processing kernel perf callchains, an bad entry can be
      considered as a valid stack pointer but not as a kernel address.
      
      In this case, we hang in an endless loop. This can happen in an
      x86-32 kernel after processing the last entry in a kernel
      stacktrace.
      
      Just stop the stack frame walking after we encounter an invalid
      kernel address.
      
      This fixes a hard lockup in x86-32.
